I was able to import using code(AltChunk & AlternateFormatImportPart) displayed below. Here finalDocument is of type WordprocessingDocument.

                   string mainhtml = "<table id=\"tbl-pg-2-13-5\" class=\"table-main\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\">" +

                finalDocument.MainDocumentPart.Document.Save();
